King sat down at Manny's Cafeteria with David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Obama, to discuss the mayoral race, Chicago politics and Wisconsin. The second part of the interview with David Axelrod will air tomorrow on John King, USA – 7pm ET. Transcript is after the jump.

HIGHLIGHT TRANSCRIPT

KING: Any doubt that your friend will be the next mayor?

AXELROD: I think he's going to be the next mayor. You know, Chicago is a town that appreciates kind of strength, larger-than-life characters, can do people. And that's who Rahm is. Rahm is a guy who - I always say, he's like a heat-seeking missile. Whatever he puts his mind to, he gets done.

And you need that kind of leadership in a big city today. So I think people recognize that, and he's going to do very well whether he does it in one election or two. We'll find out tonight. But I'm very confident he's going to be the next mayor.

JOHN KING, CNN ANCHOR: That's Manny's Deli and Coffee Shop in beautiful downtown Chicago. For the two years he was in Washington, the White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod said he could not wait to get back home to go to his favorite eating hut. There, he says he likes to bounce ideas off everyday Chicagoans.

Well, David Axelrod is home now.....

I thought the headline read “Rahm is a gay’ for a minute.

The incredible news is that Asian markets ROSE on news of Rahm's election.

That's how desperate the world markets are for any kind of good news ~ and you gotta' be careful here since "good" is very relative, it could have been Carol Mosley Braun!

That'd sent everything to the bottom in a heartbeat.

The Chicoms and their running dog lackeys will get over it by Friday I am sure.

"heat-seeking"

More like meat-seeking.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...
